August 17, 2017 - Cristo Rey Draft

Yesterday was the annual Cristo Rey draft in which the students are assigned to the employer sponsors. It was held at the Bradley Center with 58 area companies of which we were one of them. This year we signed up for four students (1 FTE) for the school year which runs from August to June.

Below is the segment that appeared on Fox 6. St. Camillus and our students appears at the end of the segment and at the bottom of the web page.

St. Camillus is excited to host national speaker, Dr. Cristen Krebs, DNP, ANP-BC, Catholic Hospice Founder and Executive Director. Dr. Krebs will explore the teachings of the Catholic Church and those of Pope John Paul II on end of life care.

Dr. Krebs is a graduate of Robert Morris University's Doctor of Nursing Practice Program with twenty five years of end-of-life care experience. She began the first faith-based, nonprofit hospice program serving Pittsburg and surrounding counties, and the first free-standing hospice residence in southwestern Pennsylvania. Dr. Krebs strongly embraces the prolife health care philosophy as means to protect our nation's seniors, disabled, and the chronically/terminally ill.

Dr. Krebs resides in Pittsburg and is a practicing partner and owner of Palliative Care Associates, providing patients and their loved ones with relief from the physical symptoms and emotional stresses progressive and terminal illness brings.

February 10, 2017 - Embrace the Journey: Catholic Teachings at End of Life

On February 10th, San Camillo hosted national speaker, Dr. Cristen Krebs, DNP, ANP-BC, Catholic Hospice Founder and Executive Director. Dr. Krebs was welcomed in the O'Donnell Room by a full crowd of over 110 engaged social workers, nurses, religious members, residents, and employees. Dr. Krebs' overall presentation focused on the teachings of the Catholic Church and those of Pope John Paul II on end of life care; a Pro Life Model of Care. She discussed the distinct goals of Catholic Hospice and how its dedication lies within providing compassionate care while affirming the dignity and sanctity of human life.

Dr. Krebs also explained the history of Hospice and the creation of the Medicare Hospice Benefit. Since the inception of the first hospice agency in the early 1970s, the amount of hospice agencies and patients in the United States has grown astronomically, and with new programs and agencies, came new challenges. Dr. Krebs discussed some of the challenges Pro Life hospice programs began to face as a negative reputation started to hover over the industry for not meeting Medicare, election, or certification requirements by committing hospice fraud.

The presentation concluded with a clear look at the Pro Life Hospice Model; with an emphasis on the Catholic Church being the ultimate patient advocate, not the hospice agency. Dr. Krebs stated, "Being Pro Life, ultimately, is about loving others, especially the most vulnerable. And this love isn't a feeling. It is a commitment." We are thankful to Dr. Cristen Krebs for leading a powerful and insightful discussion on the Catholic Teachings at End of Life.
